“can’t truly understand the psychic toll of the patriarchy.”

When I read “HTML Rube Goldberg Device”, I imagine something with CSS transitions/animations, refresh/redirect tricks, frames, form hacks, etc - I don’t imagine a sophomore-level javascript demo. Animations, transitions, redirects/ refreshes, those can all be made arbitrarily slow

I was expecting some, like fancy CSS animations, refresh/redirect tricks, form hacks, and other things that didn’t use javascript. Using js to just time everything is like saying you set up an epic domino rally, then just manually knocking over a bunch of dominos one at a time...

setTimeout(function(){$(“table[tabindex=’0']”).focus() },200); setTimeout(function(){ $(“*[tabindex=’1']”).focus(); },800); setTimeout(function(){ $(“*[tabindex=’2']”).focus(); },1200); setTimeout(function(){ $(“*[tabindex=’3']”).focus(); },1600); setTimeout(function(){ $(“*[tabindex=’4']”).focus(); },2000);…

Given that this is Norway, I’m quite surprised it isn’t some Tesla-based limousine... Does anyone make those yet?

I got a recall notice a month or so ago - for my 1994 Mazda 929's ignition switch. I was amazed.

I think for the most part government grants are given more for basic science research with a long view of technological progress.

The only problem with that is that it incentivizes continuous research, and disincentivizes actual results...

I’d vote for a classic truck.

VW had the most instances of the word and Infinity the fewest

For our apartment, we switched to a solid, but cheap, wired router and an Engenius (business-oriented) access point. The setup cost less than $100, and hasn’t had any hiccups or issues since configured a few months ago. Our previous setups all had issues with interference and the number of devices (there are at least…

Ummm... Sorry, dear, but you just did...
